Anutin Charnvirakul, also a deputy prime minister, demanded from all parties involved in the dispute that the Supreme Administrative Court’s decision be made on the matter. On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungreangkit insisted that the disputed 5, 000 rai of land in the Khao Kradong area of Buri Ram province belongs to the State Railway of Thailand ( SRT ).
When Deputy Interior Minister Songsak Thongsri claimed the SRT might have been mistaken in its attempt to reclaim the land, the disagreement surfaced. He added that more than 400 people in the Muang district’s Isan and Samet have property title deeds to show their possession of it.
According to Mr. Suriya, who is also the transport minister, the SRT may reclaim the land after the Supreme Court rules it belongs to it. In addition, the SRT had face dereliction of duty charges. The SRT falls under the Ministry of Transport, while the Department of Lands ( DoL ), which issued the title deeds on the land in Buri Ram, is under the Ministry of the Interior, run by Mr Anutin.
According to Mr. Suriya, the parties whose names have been listed along with the disputed land’s reclaimed by the SRT may receive compensation afterwards, where appropriate. 12 local state agencies are also listed, according to Mr. Suriya.
According to Mr. Suriya, these organizations may be given the opportunity to book the area in the same manner as the Criminal Court, adding that the court has leased out its land on Ratchadaphisek Road and is its corporate headquarters. Mr. Suriya insisted that all parties may wait for the Supreme Administrative Court to act on a plea brought by events impacted by the SRT’s actions, while Mr. Suriya insisted that the SRT has the right to regain its territory in Khao Kradong.
Mr. Anutin remarked in a somewhat hazy manner that he had instructed the DoL to handle the land dispute completely in order to ensure fairness. The SRT previously defended its decision to reclaim Khao Kradong area, contending that the Central Administrative Court had recently instructed the DoL to only handle the removal of the title deeds the Buri Ram property office had issued for this property.
